Madrid woman sentenced to county jail on assault, mischief charges

CANTON  A Madrid woman was sentenced to jail Monday in St. Lawrence County Court as a result of her May 2 arrest that involved her crashing her vehicle into a police car while fleeing the scene of a crime.

Erin J. White, 27, of 2084 Route 310, was sentenced to six months in jail and five years probation by St. Lawrence County Judge Jerome J. Richards for second-degree assault and third-degree criminal mischief convictions.

Troopers said White struck her husband with a baseball bat at 110 Daley Ridge Road and then fled the scene. Police said a U.S. Border Patrol agent located her in her vehicle at 1988 state Route 310.

Police said White refused to comply with orders to turn her vehicle off made by the Border Patrol agent and a state trooper. A Massena Village Police investigator stopped at the scene and attempted to enter the passenger side of the vehicle, and White reportedly then put her vehicle in reverse and slammed into the front of the state police patrol vehicle.

As she was attempting to put the vehicle back into drive, a Border Patrol agent was able to use a Taser on White, and she was taken into custody by police.

White originally was released from county jail on probation May 25 but has been arrested on multiple occasions since that release, including the following day, when she was charged by state police with petit larceny and criminal contempt.

In addition to jail time and probation, Judge Richards ordered her to pay $375 in court fines, fees and surcharges and $4,442.61 in restitution.

On Aug. 31 and Sept. 5, 2012, Mrs. Morgan stole four handguns from homes in the town of Norfolk.

She originally was facing two counts of second-degree burglary, four counts of fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property worth more than $1,000 and four counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, all felonies.

In addition to her probation, Judge Richards ordered her to pay $375 in court fines, fees and surcharges and $4,515.60 in restitution.

Wade Creighton, 32, of 222 Franklin St., Apt. 2, Ogdensburg, pleaded not guilty to second-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, three counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and two counts of fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, all felonies, and fourth-degree criminal possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor.

It is alleged that on Dec. 15, in the city Creighton was in possession of 4-plus ounces of cocaine, an unspecified amount of heroin, MDMA, also known as Ecstasy or Molly, Suboxone and 2-plus ounces of marijuana, all with the intent to sell.

He was sent to the St. Lawrence County jail, where he is being held on $20,000 cash or $40,000 bond.

It is alleged that on Oct. 15 Glenn was in possession of cocaine with the intent to sell at 157 Belmont Courts in the city.

He was released under probation supervision.

Bryan A. Pribble, 25, and Kelsey L. Rubadue, 21, both of 157 Belmont Courts, pleaded not guilty to first-degree criminal nuisance, a felony, and endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor.

It is alleged that between Oct. 1 and Oct. 15, Pribble and Rubadue maintained the premises where people gather for the buying and selling of controlled substances, while their 1-year-old daughter was present in the residence.

Pribble was released under probation supervision. Rubadue was sent to St. Lawrence County jail, where she is being held without bail.

It is alleged that on Sept. 28 in the village of Gouverneur Goodale smashed the driver-side front and rear windows, as well as the windshield, of a 2008 Nissan Frontier belonging to Bart Kidwell, causing damage exceeding $1,500.

It is alleged that on June 5 in the town of Clifton Northrop was in possession of morphine with the intent to sell it.

He was released under probation supervision.

Joseph A. Peterkin, 32, of Brooklyn, pleaded not guilty to two counts of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and two counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance, all felonies.

It is alleged that Peterkin was in possession of and sold cocaine in Ogdensburg on March 19 and April 30 to a confidential informant.

Peterkin was arraigned previously on the same charges, but they were dismissed Oct. 7 when Judge Richards determined that the testimony to a grand jury by Ogdensburg Police Narcotics Enforcement Detective Daniel C. Mousaw provided information about an uncharged crime, which might have swayed the jury to indict Peterkin.

Peterkin was taken to the county jail, where he is being held without bail.

It is alleged that between July 15 and 19, in the town of Norfolk, Wahl damaged the plumbing and heating system of the 9236 Route 56 home of Barbara Donnelly in an amount that exceeded $1,500 by intentionally and unlawfully removing copper from the heating and plumbing systems. The incident occurred after Wahl was evicted from the residence.

She was sent to the county jail, where she is being held without bail.

Ernest W. Brothers, 39, of 524 Covington St., Ogdensburg, had his one-year interim probation extended by six months by Judge Richards for his guilty plea to third-degree grand larceny.

Mr. Brothers was placed on interim probation in September 2012 for the theft of approximately $25,000 worth of fuel from Econo Fuels, Massena, when he was employed there as a driver. He also was ordered to pay $15,742.69 in restitution at that time.

Final sentencing was adjourned to July 5.
